The law is specifically written so that she has to authorize the prosecution. It's not "respecting the separation of powers" to prosecute something when it's in your sole discretion to prosecute it.
If the law did not normally require executive decisions it would be different.

That paragraph does not require government authorization. In practice, this decision does make little difference. It's a political statement.
